HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER CHARACTERISTICS OF A WATER VAPOR SORPTION ROTOR

摘要

This paper deals with heat and mass transfer characteristics of desiccant rotor applied organic sorbent. To elucidate these characteristics, a one-dimensional heat and mass transfer model is presented. At First, the predicted results compared with the data taken from experimental results. As a result, this model is confirmed useful tool for understanding the performance of the rotor. Therefore, the cause of appearing optimum rotational frequency, which makes sorption outlet absolute humidity lowest, is explained by using numerical calculation.
